The first work of the imperial prison

While Qiu Yiqing and Shen Jiang were busy outside, Ye Baiting didn't move, just stood in the room where the wounded were rescued, arranging to help with the work here, while observing the street.

A place where there are many people, a place where there are few people screaming, a place where gunpowder smoke rises, a place where fire is burning...

Everywhere, everywhere, there will be figures of hatred and suspicion.

The man who escaped from prison has quite a lot of means, and the news from the city gate has been heard from a long distance away. How many things are in the carriage?

When there was chaos outside, there was also an accident here, and someone died.

Ye Baiting went over immediately and found that it was the person who was seriously injured before.In this accident, due to Jin Yiwei's timely response and quick evacuation of the crowd, most of the injured were slightly injured, and only one was seriously injured.

He injured his back, it was very serious, and his lungs were involved. Ye Baiting only knew how to do autopsies, so he had to call a doctor when he saw a doctor. will.

The result now... Obviously the injured person's will has failed.

However, the family members standing by were not sad.Ye Baiting asked the woman, and only then did he know that she is the old man's daughter-in-law, surnamed Zhang.

"There was a chaos on the street just now, and my father-in-law was only concerned with running by himself. He didn't care about his little grandson, but my youngest son. He is only four years old. What do you know? If he is left unattended, he might die! I just lost the heel of my running shoe, so I have to carry - mention, just put the child on the ground, let him help to look - just - look, how much work can it take me to lift a heel? He doesn't do it, he just ran away, I just made a mistake, The child got sucked into the crowd... so many people, he was so young, it took me a lot of effort to find him..."

Mrs. Zhang didn't cry, but it was obvious that her eyes were red, and the little baby hugged her leg, a little dazed, as if frightened.

Ye Baiting looked at her clothes, they were indeed crowded and wrinkled, with stains on the cuffs and skirt corners, as well as the shoes, the whole person felt a little unseemly right now.

Mrs. Zhang shrank her hands, and knew that she was being rude, but she still couldn't help complaining: "my husband values ​​filial piety, we serve my father-in-law with delicious food and drink every day at home, and the family is not rich. Now that he has become an old man, he is always proud, he is always picky about the children, he has taught all kinds of lessons, and he has never boasted. I thought he was just carrying it. When something big happened-it might not be the same. Flesh and blood relatives, the blood of his old Wang's family is flowing on the child, who knows... huh, it's just a matter of convenience, he doesn't even want to take a look at it, he insists on running forward with others, for fear of falling behind and dying Oh, it’s unlucky to run so fast, right? You can only blame God for having eyes!”

Ye Baiting paused, and asked: "Where was the old man when the accident happened, do you remember?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "I was in a hurry to find a child, and my heart was about to jump out. I didn't have time to pay attention to where it was? But there was a stone lion that was very eye-catching. I saw it..."

"Stone lion? Isn't it very big, with stone balls on its feet, and the door—right?"

"Seems to be."

"That's not bad," the aunt who was talking next to me followed, "That's Tongyuan Bank, and there are two stone lions squatting in front of the door nearby!"

Ye Baiting has seen the street map of the capital city many times, and he has also traveled to many places. After a little memory, he knows the approximate direction of this place.But more importantly...

He looked at Mrs. Zhang: "Do you know Mujun Wangfu?"

Zhang's eyes were blank: "The county prince's mansion? I don't know it."

"Where are the servants of the county prince's mansion? Are there any familiar ones?"

"Not at all." Mrs. Zhang still shook her head, "We ordinary people can't climb up to such a wealthy family."

Ye Baiting asked again: "Where's the Lu family? Do you know someone who is an official with the surname Lu? Or a servant of the Lu family?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while: "... none of them."

Ye Baiting asked a few more questions. It is not difficult to guess the conditions of Zhang's family. They are ordinary people with a fixed circle on weekdays. They have no social channels and have nothing to do with Mu Lu's family. Then this old man... ...why die?

At that time, there were a lot of people evacuated in the crowd, and there was a certain chance of encountering an accident, but the situation of the deceased was very similar to the previous two, very similar to precision delivery...

Ye Baiting closed his eyes, and carefully reproduced the scene in his mind, the scene environment, the direction of the explosion, the choice of route, the location where the murderer might be hiding...

Tongyuan Bank seems to be the most likely route.

If—as he thought, this case was committed by the murderer, what was the motive?Why did you suddenly decide to kill this man?If the death of King Mu and Mrs. Li was due to the fact that the murderer knew what kind of people they were and wanted to punish them, what about this old man?He obviously met by chance and didn't know him. Compared with other common people, what is special about him?It's just that they were evacuated together, wrapped in the crowd, and met for a short time. In such a short time, what information might the murderer have obtained, and how did it cause the murderous intent?

When he was thinking, the outside had completely calmed down, nothing serious happened, everything was within controllable range, the people spontaneously cleaned up the scene, and the government officials also rushed to the organization, but this time there was no Dongchang In the shadow of him, many people from Wucheng Bingmasi came to the street.

Wucheng Bingmasi... seems to be on good terms with Xichang, and respects the empress dowager in the palace?

Ye Baiting didn't want to think about the court situation, he wasn't very interested in this aspect, and he wasn't too sensitive, but in recent days he always felt that there were some subtle changes in the atmosphere, such as Dongchang's father-in-law, Fu Lixing, who was inexplicably more friendly, Now Xichang is also taking to the streets to help...

These two groups of people are no longer fighting, and suddenly have a new understanding of social contribution?

Just as he was thinking, Niu Dayong trotted over to report: "Young master, the commander has an order to send you back to Beizhen Fusi!"

In other words, is it over outside?

Ye Baiting's heart skipped a beat: "Where are the others?"

Niu Dayong shook his head honestly: "This side just received an order, and I don't know where the commander is. Maybe they are rushing back?"

Ye Baiting changed the question: "Where are you applying for Baihu?"

This Niu Dayong knew: "Uh, this... said that I was exhausted, I wanted to come over to invite you in person, but I couldn't breathe well, I really couldn't catch up, so I asked the younger ones to take good care of the young master, and to express my annoyance to the young master. He came back to plead guilty."

"That's it."

Ye Baiting was instantly relieved, Shen Jiang was in the mood to make a joke, but things went well, nothing happened, and Qiu Xunqing was also fine, so that's fine.

"Ask a few people to stay and go through the formalities, and carry the deceased to Beizhen Fusi morgue," Ye Baiting straightened his clothes, "I'm running late, I have to go back first."

"Yes!"

Niu Dayong immediately called some of his subordinates and gave them careful instructions.

This place is not far from Beizhen Fusi, Ye Baiting arrived first, just sat down and asked someone to make tea, after a while, there was a sound at the door, Jin Yiwei entered in a file, their steps were neat, well-trained, and their clothes were rarely dirty, They are rotten, but their faces are not serious. They have expressions today, and they all look very proud.

Qiu Yiqing came in first, and Shen Jiang escorted the people behind: "Hurry up! Didn't you just go out from here, and you don't know each other in a blink of an eye?"

The man's head was hanging down, the gauze on his head hadn't been removed, he obviously didn't want to see this familiar place, he didn't even want to lift his feet, he was just lingering, when he was kicked - his knees were bent, he almost knelt on the ground, okay It's easy to stand up straight.

Shen Jiang: "Why are you staring at me? How dare you stare at me? You are walking slowly, blocking other people's way, and delaying other people's affairs. Are you reasonable? You don't want to be arrested, so don't run out! Young master, look at him -"

While cursing, seeing Ye Baiting walk out, Shen Jiang's voice was almost broken, subconsciously put his hands on his hips, and almost panted like a dog sticking out his tongue: "I really tried my best this time, Everyone is almost exhausted, look at the injuries on my body! This grandson is not obedient!"

Ye Baiting looked at him, then looked at Qiu Yiqing: "Let you command and reward you."

Qiu Xunqing knew that Xiao Zuo was worried about him, so he took two steps forward, showing that he was not hurt anywhere and everything was fine, then turned around and followed his words: "Shen Baihu performed well today, and there is a reward. "

Shen Jiang immediately revived with full blood: "Really!" This time it can be regarded as fishing!

Ye Baiting walked up to the detainee: "Li Ping?"

Since he came out of the Imperial Prison, it stands to reason that he should be very familiar with it. Everyone will always meet when they come and go. Many people even deliberately approach him in order to make the face familiar, but this face is very strange. He didn't any sense of memory.

Qiu Yiqing saw his doubts, walked over, pressed the skin on the man's chin, and gently tore it off: "He has changed his face."

The skin was torn off, the man gasped in pain, Ye Baiting also saw the man's face clearly: "You are not some Li Ping, you are He Tian."

He Tian had a calm expression and did not speak.

Ye Baiting: "Or, even this He Tian is a pseudonym, you are Blue Bird, right?"

He Tian still didn't speak, his eyelids trembled briefly.

Ye Baiting smiled: "It's true."

He Tian also smiled: "What blue bird, why didn't I know, but you did?"

"You should have a lot of questions, not just this? For example, how did we know you were a blue bird, how did we know you were going to run away, and how did we catch you?" Ye Baiting smiled even wider, and even winked at the opposite side, "Because your people Too stupid, I guessed it long ago."

This wink was mischievous in Shen Jiang's eyes, cute in jealous eyes, and provocative in He Tian's eyes.

But he couldn't give any retaliation, because he didn't have time, and in the next moment, he was escorted by Shen Jiang, walked back into the dark, dark passage, and was finally tied up in the interrogation room.

He didn't arrange to ask questions right away, but let him hang out for a long time. Jin Yiwei has been busy for a long time, who is not tired?You have to rest and have a meal.

Shen Jiang even took a nap in the class room before coming over to discuss with the young master, washed his face, tidied up, and walked slowly to the interrogation room.

The interrogation room is a closed room with a small window outside. People outside can open the small window to observe the criminal, but the prisoner cannot see the people outside because of the angle at which the prisoner is tied to the chair and the structure of the room.

Ye Baiting stood outside the small window, observed carefully, and found that He Tian was not bad looking, even though he was in a state of embarrassment now, he could vaguely see the delicate lines of his body, He Tian...

He remembered that this person was very quiet in the cell, inconspicuous, and he didn't talk much, as long as he had food, he could bear without food. At least during the time he was in there, he didn't see this person make a fuss.He Tian should belong to the kind of person who has a good body. He looks very thin and has no energy, but he has been locked up for so long without any illness or disaster. He is quite lucky.

All prisoners in the imperial prison are criminals. As time goes by, it is inevitable that their spirits will be depressed. Ye Baiting does not deny that there are always some thorns among criminals who like to bully others. The weaker you are, the more fierce they bully you. , persuaded Shen Jiang to cooperate, after taking the first hot bath and showing a clean face, no one dared to tease him, especially those who were bold and used to bullying, dared to say anything, even Dare to do anything, but as long as you are capable, stand up on your own, let others know how powerful you are, and others will weigh in before acting, whether this step is really enjoyable, or will you die... Slowly, they won't bully you anymore.

He Tian has no sense of presence in the imperial prison. He has never had trouble with himself, and he has never sought cooperation with anyone, or hugged anyone's thigh. He has always been quiet, and he is thin. forward……

Ye Baiting had seen with his own eyes that He Tian was made a very bad joke by others, he endured it, and when Xiang Zian was chatting about interesting things in prison, he talked about He Tian, ​​saying that this man has a big heart and can bear any bullying, what It can be tolerated to a certain extent, including being...

Because of this, he has been paying attention to the news of the blue bird in the imperial prison, and Xiang Zi'an also helped him find it, but he found nothing. They never doubted He Tian at all, how could a truly powerful person allow to be bullied to this extent degree?

Without strength and brains, how could it be possible for an important figure in the Wala organization to come to rescue someone who made such a big noise about thunder and fire bombs?

Ye Baiting couldn't figure out the logic of He Tian's actions... This person is a bit interesting.

It may be that his eyes fell on the person for too long, Qiu Xunqing held his hand, pressed it, and then he came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"Shh-"

Hatred Qingqing pressed his lips between his lips: "Be careful what he hears."

Ye Baiting blinked and nodded, indicating that he understood.

But Qiu Xunqing didn't let go of his hand, and continued to hold his hand.

In the interrogation room, Shen Jiang's temper was a bit impatient, especially when the other party's smile of "whatever you say, I will definitely not cooperate", became more angry, crossed his legs, and snorted with his nose: "Tell me, my real name is What, where did it come from, how did you get it to replace others, why did you know that there would be an accident outside today, where did you get the carriage, how did you plan the route, who were your accomplices, how did you contact outsiders, who is the little round ball? Whoever did it - one counts - tell me!"

He Tian laughed out loud, with a face of 'you are so innocent and cute': "You caught me and cut off my life, and you think I can say it?"

Shen Jiang narrowed his eyes: "If you don't say anything, you will be locked up here, and you will be sentenced to death!"

He Tian shrugged: "So, anyway, pay attention to death, why should I say it for your convenience?"

This person is a bit rebellious...

Ye Baiting wrote on Qiu Yiqing's hand, Shen Jiang might not be able to stand it.

Hatred green palms—itches, and wrote back: Look again.

The prisoner has been found and his identity is confirmed. Of course, Fusi Beizhen went to adjust the file, but the time is too short, and they know very little. Even if more information comes, it is very likely that someone else arranged in advance Lies, interrogation immediately without knowing about others, the effect may not be good, letting Shen Jiang go is just the first wave of temptation.

Shen Jiang didn't come here empty-handed, he held a whip in his hand, and seeing the man's mouth was oily, he raised the whip and hit the table heavily.

Facing the threat of force at close range, everyone has to react a little bit. He Tian's body subconsciously trembled for a moment, then paused for a moment. Still not afraid, he leaned forward and said, "Baihu is not happy, why are you smoking?" It’s better to hit me at the table, guarantee—death—but if I’m not wrong, Beizhen Fusi, your commander needs me, it doesn’t matter if you hit me, if you kill me, how can you explain to the superior? "

Ye Baiting don't understand too much, He Tian is reminding Shen Jiang that he doesn't know martial arts, his body is very weak, and he can die with a whip. If he is sentenced to death, he may not last for a long time. What he knows is very important to Jin Yiwei , to remind you to weigh carefully.

Sure enough, Shen Jiang withdrew his whip, feeling a little cowardly in this action, as if frightened, and glared again: "We have a lot of doctors, when you are told to die, when can you die, if you are not allowed to die, you Even a useless person can make you speak out!"

He Tian sighed: "It's a dead person and a prisoner, so life is boring. Anyway, life in the future will be bitter, and there is no rush. Why should I explain it? If you die, you will die. It's very boring."

Shen Jiang held his breath: "Tell me, what do you want, you will say it?"

"Not much," He Tian shook his finger, "Give me a bucket of hot water, I want to take a bath."

Shen Jiang: ...

Excuse me, this person is too courageous to learn from the young master?It's a pity—it's not like it at all. The young master only made him feel useful and usable at that time, and lowered his vigilance. In the same way, no matter what he said or his expression, he was very disgusted.

Oh, whatever, just like you, no matter how hard you learn, you can't learn the cute look of the young master, no matter how presumptuous you are, I'm afraid - the commander will beat you to death soon!

There was no coded command outside the small window, which meant that it was right, Shen Jiang snorted: "Wash, wash, let you wash! If you don't confess after washing, you will be killed!"

He Tian smiled slightly, very satisfied: "It won't take long for me to take a bath, not as good as your young master Jingui, Shen Baihu remember to come back early, don't tell me to miss you."

Shen Jiang got goosebumps all over his body, walked out of the interrogation room, and saw the young master: "This man - he looks like a slippery fellow, how can he interrogate? Can't torture be used?"

Qiu Yiqing: "That is the last resort."

Ye Baiting: "If he is willing to cooperate, it will be the best."

Shen Jiang was angry when he remembered that face just now: "But he obviously didn't cooperate!"

Ye Baiting smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I already have an idea."

This man is a very arrogant and tolerant person. He can bear being bullied like that in the prison, and the pain of flesh and blood may not be unbearable. The Oala’s secret organization is not a charity organization. People who come out of there can perform tasks. You have to carry poison pills with you, have you not received punishment training?

The other party can be a hobgoblin, shameless, but an arrogant, smart person, no matter how despised others from the bottom of his heart, there will be something he wants... It may not be a thing, it can also be an invisible thing.

The three returned to Nuan Pavilion to take a break, and more criminal file materials had been sent over.

He Tian himself did not have any major crimes. It was Zhu Lian who was imprisoned. His father committed a major crime. He was charged with corruption and his whole family was confiscated. He was only 14 years old when he entered the Imperial Prison. Counting seven years since he entered this year, he is also twenty— Years old.

Shen Jiang had some doubts: "Qingniao is a member of Wacha's secret organization. His father has embezzled such a huge amount, and the stolen money has not been recovered. Is it also related to Wacha?"

Could it be that the investigation of the case was too shallow at that time, and this person was not corrupt at all, but treason, who was greedy for money and turned it over to Wala?

Qiu Yiqing: "It's a long time ago, and various details need to be investigated in depth. I can't be sure at this moment."

Ye Baiting: "Perhaps the case at the time was fine, but there was a problem with the person imprisoned—what if the blue bird wasn't He Tian himself?"

He always felt that this name didn't match the feeling the other party gave him. This blue bird must be hiding something deeper.

The three of them analyzed this incomplete information, and Shen Jiang got up: "I'll go see if the grandson has finished his bath."

When he just went out and came back, he found that the two people were getting closer and closer, their eyebrows were dark, and they were whispering...

No, didn't we finish analyzing just now, what nonsense are you secretly talking about?Is there anything Baihu can't listen to?Such a big one hundred households can be ignored casually here!

Ye Baiting saw him coming in: "Okay?"

Shen Jiang nodded: "It's finished."

"Okay, let's go."

This time, Ye Baiting accompanied Shen Jiang to the interrogation room. Shen Jiang glanced at the small window and asked the young master in a low voice: "You alone, can the commander make you go?"

Ye Baiting gently rolled up his sleeves: "Of course the big names must be saved until the end. If I'm not good enough and can't ask anything, I should ask the commander."

Shen Jiang blinked and understood, this is the reason, even the commander is involved, it seems that the grandson is so capable, why give him such a big face, he thinks beautifully!

"Wait," Ye Baiting called to Shen Jiang, her eyes were sly and her voice was soft, "I have something to tell you..."

A moment later, the interrogation room.

"Yo, the young master is here."

He Tian brushed his wet hair, glanced lazily at Shen Jiang with his eyelids: "I don't think I'm good enough, has your master come here?"

He raised his voice slightly, thinking it was a mockery. After all, Shen Jiang looked down on Ye Baiting when Ye Baiting had not made a fortune in the imperial prison. He thought Ye Baiting was too thin and weak. But he didn't know that the times were different. Shen Jiang was promoted to a hundred households, and he didn't have to be on duty in the prison. He had a special worship for the value of force, and he also had a special worship for the brain. After coming back, he is now a big congratulatory word to the young master, what's wrong with admitting that he is the master, the young master is!He is not only the master, but also a god, the god of Beizhen Fusi, what's wrong!

Commanders and envoys will not object to these words, you—a detainee knows what a fart!

Shen Jiang sneered: "That's right, I asked my master to come over and teach you a lesson, why, are you afraid?"

He Tian was stunned for a moment, before he said leisurely: "I haven't seen you for a while, and Shen Baihu was getting more and more shameless at that time."

Shen Jiang consciously regained some face: "Oh, aren't you a blue bird, you blow so hard, why, you can't even find out this bit of information?" He also sincerely suggested to Ye Baiting, "Why don't we use torture, with This kind of idiot who doesn't know anything, there's nothing to say, maybe the detailed organization is a bird breeder, what kind of blue bird, green bird, blind bird house sparrow, raised a bunch, the bottom is full of these scumbags, I thought Look up, no matter how you name it, it must be more prestigious, such as Suzaku Phoenix or something? He definitely can't."

He Tian's face dropped: "Ignorant idiot."

Cursed, cursed, he really cursed!

With the prisoner on his back, Shen Jiang winked at Ye Baiting: Sure enough, as the young master expected, the prisoner reacted exactly as you said!

Ye Baiting lifted his robe, sat down on the chair upright, thinking to himself, of course, did he really think it was Bai who observed it just now?

"You can't walk around either," he smiled slightly, looking at He Tian, ​​"Why don't we have a pleasant chat?"

He Tian rolled his eyes: "I've already said it, don't talk. Left and right are dead, why should I talk to you?"

"Because of curiosity."

Ye Baiting looked at him, and said slowly, "You have something we want to know, and we have something you want to know, right? How about it, do you want to make a deal?"
